So I know the basic differences between Fusion and Nuke, but I want opinions from people actually using the software. I’m looking to make a software purchase and just want a more rounded understanding before I sink the money in.
What are the limitations of each? What are the problems? What issues do you run into and drive you crazy?
All bitching will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Really the best thing you can do is download the demo versions of both apps and see which one feels the most natural to you.
They are both strong apps. The opinions you get will likely be from people who have used and know one app more than the other and they will naturally tend to favour the one they know.
Spend a couple of weeks and maybe try the same shots in both of them to compare workflows and see which one YOU prefer. Since you are buying this for yourself its your productivity that really matters
I know which is more natural for me but as I said its because I’m more familiar with it. So my opinion would be biased and I won’t say because it wouldn’t be fair to the other app.
I have used both and liked them both for different reasons. I like Fusion for its 3d particle system, it has the abitlity to use speedsix plugins which are amazing…..but really thats just some little extras. For a good work flow, solid tools, I found myself using Nuke and now it is my main application.
For nuke: Once you find the power or storing channels you will never look back in my opinion. With the version 6 including a 3d camera tracker, Furnace plugins, precomp tools, and more I think its going to be a great release later this year.
On the other side Fusion has had an overhaul on its 3d system, included some materials, you can colorpick geometry and make edits to it even if it all came in the same FBX or other file format.
So find out what your requirements are and try them out. They can all do the same thing, its all about the workflow and the few extra things the company has focused on for a certain release.
